Kidney glomeruli, light micrograph
Kidney glomeruli. Light microscope of a section through the cortex of a healthy kidney showing glomeruli. The core of a glomerulus is formed of a tightly coiled capillary (purple). The function of the glomeruli is to filter waste products from the blood. After the reabsorption of certain substances elsewhere in the kidney, the liquid is transported to the bladder as urine. Magnification: x500 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of kidney glomeruli, captured under a light microscope. The section through the cortex of a healthy kidney reveals an array of glomeruli, each composed of tightly coiled capillaries in a stunning shade of purple. These glomeruli play a crucial role in our excretory system by filtering waste products from the blood. The image highlights the structural complexity and functionality of these vital components within our kidneys. As blood flows through these tiny structures, waste substances are efficiently filtered out before being transported to other parts of the urinary system for further processing. This process ultimately leads to the formation of urine, which is then conveyed to the bladder. With its false-colored pink hue and detailed cross-section view, this photograph provides valuable insights into renal histology and biology. It serves as a reminder that our bodies possess remarkable anatomical features designed for optimal function and well-being. Whether you're an enthusiast in biology or simply fascinated by nature's wonders, this visually striking print offers both aesthetic appeal and educational value. Its magnification at x500 ensures that even minute details are vividly displayed when printed 10cm wide.
